Celebration of the Skin

Pop Mechanix

Synopsis

The penultimate Pop Mechanix single was an exploration of carnality, anchored by chiming guitars with vocals by Andrew Snoid (Coconut Rough and 'Sierra Leone'). It was one of the first music videos made by Spot On video competition winner Paul Middleditch (he was still at school) who went on to direct videos for Tim Finn and Tex Pistol, TVCs and feature film Separation City. The location was a cold, disused office. “Luckily,” says bass player Paul Scott, “we were into leather jackets, big coats and damn big hair because the place was absolutely freezing”.
